185. Chapter 185: The Third Reincarnation Secret Realm! "Fivefold Four Illusions Sun Wukong, First Fold: A Chinese Odyssey!"

"Ye Ming... third time... *static*... third reincarnation... *static*..."

Before the memories in his mind had clearly manifested, Ye Ming suddenly felt his body being pulled into a strange space.

The entire space was dark and hazy, with only a tiny bit of light before his eyes.

In front of him was a massive circular stone platform.

Standing upon the stone platform were three hundred-foot-tall stone pillars whose tops could not be seen. Carved onto the stone pillars were symbols Ye Ming did not recognize, yet they looked remarkably like an interweaving of Buddhist scripts and Daoist arts.

Hanging down from these three stone pillars were dense, thick Death Chains several feet wide, emanating a mysterious, obscure, and ancient aura.

These enormous Death Chains extended into the depths of the stone platform, their endpoints invisible.

"Clatter, clatter..."

In the darkness, a series of sounds of chains being dragged echoed, and a heavy, primeval aura surged toward him from the darkness.

As Ye Ming felt this terrifying pressure, his soul, which had not yet recovered from its previous injuries, actually showed signs of shattering.

Just as he attempted to resist this formidable pressure, it suddenly vanished, and following it was a drop of blood that carried a faint fragrance.

This drop of blood shattered in the air, transforming into rich energy that swirled around Ye Ming; in just an instant, his soul, damaged by the forces of the System and the Reincarnation Hall, was repaired in a flash.

Just as Ye Ming was astonished, a figure walked out from the darkness, their entire body bound by massive Death Chains.

This figure was only a few feet tall, yet hanging with those Death Chains, it looked as if they were carrying a massive black mountain on their back.

They walked into the light of the circular platform, and only then did Ye Ming look up and see the full appearance of this figure.

"Great Saint!!"

For some reason, as Ye Ming looked at this figure suppressed by Death Chains, covered in scars, with the originally golden monkey fur stained dark red by blood scabs, he naturally felt in his mind that this seemed to be a figure from his own past memories.

The Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong! He could not see through the other's cultivation, only knowing that he could not break those massive Death Chains!

The other's cultivation far exceeded the Ye Fan clone he had seen before! Hearing the two words Ye Ming blurted out, the figure carrying the Death Chains paused, and a hoarse, low voice came from their mouth.

"Great Saint..."

"What a distant term..."

Boom—with a loud noise, they sat down casually in front of Ye Ming, still carrying the Death Chains.

"Cannot resist!" Even just from the wind stirred up, this thought arose in Ye Ming's heart.

Even if the Great Saint was imprisoned by this platform, shackled by iron chains, and his cultivation sealed, he still could not defeat them! "Great Saint, you summoned me here; what are your instructions?"

Ye Ming bowed slightly, showing respect to that figure deep within his memories.

"The people, I protected. The scriptures, I retrieved."

The hoarse, low voice of the figure carrying the mountain of Death Chains echoed in this hazy space.

"Yet in the end, They treated me this way."

"Heh..."

"In the millions of years I have been suppressed in this space, my cultivation is nearly completely sealed. Fortunately, at this final moment, I grasped a final glimmer of survival."

The Great Saint's gaze fell upon Ye Ming, and he said in his hoarse voice: "There is a baleful energy in your heart, and what you have learned is messy; if you cannot simplify the complex, your future path will inevitably be difficult."

"The Reincarnation Secret Realm you are about to enter concerns me."

"It will be very dangerous, because everything about you is transparent in Their eyes."

"I used my final strength to mask Their perception of you."

Having said this, the Great Saint paused, then continued: "If you wish to achieve the goal of eternal life, you will inevitably clash with Them sooner or later."

"I do not expect you to help me escape, I only hope that when you have the ability, you will destroy them!"

At this point, a raging flame appeared in the Great Saint's eyes.

"Even if it means trading everything I have!"

The moment his voice fell, the entire space began to shake violently! Before Ye Ming could respond, the entire space began to shatter inch by inch! At the final moment, the Great Saint shouted fiercely: "Remember! In the Reincarnation Secret Realm you enter, try to act according to my style as much as possible, otherwise They will discover you prematurely!"

"Without sufficient strength, you will only perish!"

The familiar white light appeared, only to dissipate in an instant.

Before he could even think about the Great Saint's words, the information emitted by the black watch in his mind surfaced!

"Ye Ming · Third Reincarnation Secret Realm: Threefold Four Illusions Sun Wukong!

Task: Complete the Threefold Four Illusions, unravel Sun Wukong's inner demon! Survive!

Note: 【Threefold Four Illusions Sun Wukong, First Fold: A Chinese Odyssey】 officially begins!"

The moment he saw this task, Ye Ming knew that this Reincarnation Secret Realm would not be simple!

There were no task rewards, and no task penalties.

Because surviving was the greatest reward!

As the watch information finished surfacing, a mysterious memory appeared in his mind.

His figure was also quietly undergoing changes.

Sand blew, and the scorching sun hung high in the sky.

One monkey, one pig, one person, and one horse—following this strange combination was a monk carrying a bundle.

Not far above the heads of the pig, horse, and person, the monkey, wearing golden armor and looking extremely handsome, was stepping on a cloud of good fortune, casually tossing a rectangular box in his hand.

A trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, which then gradually cleared.

"A Chinese Odyssey?"

"Is my identity this time Sun Wukong?"

"It is exactly the same as what that Great Saint I saw in the dark space said... And who are 'They' who could suppress that terrifying Great Saint for millions of years?"

"The gods and Buddhas of the heavens? The Saints of the Heavenly Dao? Or some unspeakable existence?"

"Hoo~"

Slowly exhaling a breath of turbid air, Ye Ming only felt that his mind was in a state of chaos.

In this Reincarnation Secret Realm, even though he knew the plot, it would be difficult to survive! Sensing slightly, he already understood in his heart that besides the power he originally possessed, he also possessed all the power, spells, and the formidable physical body of the Sun Wukong from A Chinese Odyssey! "This time, I've played it big!"

Ye Ming murmured in his heart; with his cultivation level, facing the various gods and Buddhas in the Journey to the West world would likely be quite troublesome.

Not to mention the "Them" mentioned by that Great Saint! Just then, the Tang Sanzang below, who looked remarkably like Luo Ying, was on a white horse, muttering to him:

"Wukong, for no good reason, why did you go and snatch Zixia Xianzi's Moonlight Box?"

"Snatching is an impolite behavior. Zixia Xianzi descended from the Buddha Realm to find her destined one, yet you changed your appearance and deceived her out of her Moonlight Box; this will cause harm to her heart."

"Namo Amitabha. Wukong, look at you, ever since you got the Moonlight Box, you disappear every other day, and after you appear, you keep muttering things like 【Ye Ming】, 【Lin Dong】, 【Ye Gucheng】; you are almost going crazy."

"The Golden Hoop that Guanyin asked me to put on you, although it doesn't look good and the aesthetics are a bit lacking, so we won't wear it, but at the very least, there should be some respect..."

"Namo Amitabha. Wukong, you are already a monk. But what you did to the female benefactor Bai Jingjing before was somewhat impolite..."

"Wukong..."

"Wukong..."

Before Ye Ming could sort out his thoughts, he only felt countless flies buzzing around his ears.

Buzz buzz buzz! Buzz buzz buzz! 【Remember! In the Reincarnation Secret Realm you have entered, try your best to act in accordance with my style of conduct, otherwise, you will be discovered by Them in advance!】

As the Great Saint's instructions rang in his mind, Ye Ming looked up at the sky and secretly thought: "Since I still don't understand, then I will do as he says first!"

He turned his head abruptly, scratched the fur on his arm, and bared his teeth at Tang Sanzang, "You damn bald donkey, shut your stinking mouth!"

"If you dare to nag again, I, Old Sun, will eat you right now!"

Carrying his Nine-Toothed Rake, Zhu Bajie gave a sheepish smile, "Master, you are scaring Master again."

"The weather is getting hotter and hotter; shouldn't we go find a household ahead and beg for a cup of water to drink?"

"Namo Amitabha. Bajie, Wukong is just being outspoken for a moment. If he really wanted to eat his master, how could I refuse?" Wearing his monk's robe, Tang Sanzang performed a Buddhist salute and continued to ramble, "Eating, drinking, and relieving oneself are human nature."

"Namo Amitabha. The Buddha cut his flesh to feed the eagle; I can also cut my flesh to feed the monkey. However, how could my flesh and blood really grant immortality?"

"I eat my own hand skin, and I don't see it having that effect?"

"If Wukong doesn't believe it, he can try."

"Wukong, why don't you try?"

"Wukong... Wukong..."

Ye Ming had undergone Hundred Generations Reincarnation under the Bodhi tree, experiencing thousands of hardships and ten thousand torments in the human world.

His temperament had long been honed to the Great Completion realm.

Yet, having just appeared in this A Chinese Odyssey world, just hearing Tang Sanzang's muttering, his state of mind actually wavered! "This bald donkey is something else!"

"No wonder the Sun Wukong in A Chinese Odyssey didn't wear the Golden Hoop at first; this mouth is simply more annoying than the Golden Hoop!"

Listening to the buzzing flies in his ears, Ye Ming shook his head while holding it.

"Damn bald donkey, damn bald donkey, damn bald donkey!"

He scratched his cheek; his entire monkey face was incredibly ruddy, with a touch of black around his eyes, looking exceptionally evil and charming.

Looking into the distance, dust was flying, and the rising heat waves made one feel even more unusually irritable.

"You fool, guard this damn bald donkey; I, Old Sun, will go ahead and take a look!"

Unable to stand Tang Sanzang's nagging any longer, Ye Ming stuffed the Moonlight Box into his waist, leaped up, and rode a cloud, speeding away toward the front.

Watching his eldest disciple flee, Tang Sanzang turned his gaze toward Zhu Bajie before him.

"Namo Amitabha. Bajie..."

"Bajie..."

Zhu Bajie's two ears rolled up abruptly, skillfully plugging his ear canals.

But even so, Tang Sanzang's voice still penetrated his body and struck his soul directly!

Above the clouds,

Ye Ming checked the surrounding situation while pondering in his heart.

"Threefold Four Illusions Sun Wukong, the first fold: A Chinese Odyssey... Judging from the name alone, there are a second fold and a third fold."

"And what are the four illusions? Four times transforming into Sun Wukong?"

"There is too little information; I can't analyze it at all!"

"Are the words of that Great Saint true or false? If I don't act according to his words, what will be the result?"

"It seems I need to make some small attempts..."

Ye Ming flicked his head to the right, and a golden, shining Golden Cudgel was held in his hand.

Waving it casually, the wind and clouds in the sky surged, and thunder roared.

Seeing this, his eyes blinked slightly, and his Fire-Eyed Golden Gaze pierced through space, seeing a magnificent city in the distance and the huge black Ox-Head logo erected above that city! 【Niutoubao】

In the blink of an eye, Ye Ming flew into this city.

"Hahaha, my virtuous brother has come here; have you brought that Tang Sanzang?"

The moment his figure appeared in the city, Niu Mowang, wearing a black cloak, with two horns on his head and a large silver nose ring, flew out hurriedly, welcoming him with a face full of joy.

"Virtuous brother! I have gathered the demons, just waiting for you to bring Tang Sanzang!"

Niu Mowang looked at the empty scene behind Sun Wukong and scratched his head, "Virtuous brother, where is Tang Sanzang?"

"That bald donkey is too talkative!" Ye Ming bared his teeth and scratched the restless monkey fur on his face, "I, Old Sun, really couldn't stand it, so I flew to Big Brother's Niutoubao to hang out first!"

"It is estimated that in another two or three days' journey, that bald donkey will arrive at Niutoubao!"

Hearing this, Niu Mowang was overjoyed and immediately invited Ye Ming into the hall of the most luxurious house in the city.

"Virtuous brother, please!"

"As soon as Tang Sanzang arrives, Big Brother will preside over the wedding for you and Xiangxiang!"

"Wouldn't it be wonderful to hold the grand wedding during the Long Life Feast?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, raising their cups to drink deeply.

After three rounds of drinks, Niu Mowang patted Ye Ming on the shoulder, "Brother, you have had a hard journey, go and get some rest first."

"I am going to take a look to the east, lest Tang Sanzang be intercepted by other minor demons!"

"Please do as you wish, Big Brother!"

After seeing Niu Mowang off, Ye Ming walked out of the room, preparing to find a secluded place to carefully study the changes within himself.

Just as he crossed the courtyard wall, he saw a stunning woman slowly walking out from the side.

Her beauty could topple a kingdom, her lotus-like steps moving slowly.

This woman's appearance was like Wang Qiang, her face like a maiden of Chu. Like a flower that could speak, like jade that gave off fragrance. Her high bun was piled with dark, raven-black hair, her twin eyes dipped in green like autumn water. Her Xiang-silk skirt half-revealed her small bow-shaped shoes, her emerald sleeves slightly extended to show her long, powdered wrists.

Ye Ming blinked his eyes; in his mind, the identity information of this woman had already appeared.

Niu Mowang's second wife, Jade-Faced Fox! He grinned and lowered his head, saying:

"Greetings, Second Sister-in-law."

Jade-Faced Fox glanced at the departing Niu Mowang, then turned her head, rolled her eyes at Sun Wukong, and coquettishly scolded:

"You heartless thing, when you were counting stars with me before, you called me your little darling."

"Now that we meet, you are so distant, calling me Second Sister-in-law."

Her body went limp, and she leaned against Ye Ming; that faint fragrance desperately drilled into the tip of Ye Ming's nose.

Ye Ming's body trembled, and it was as if a bolt of lightning flashed through his mind.

No wonder Niu Mowang wanted to break with Sun Wukong; this guy not only flirted with the first wife, but also the second wife?

He really knows how to play!...

In a small town to the east of the Desert.

With demonic sounds swirling, Zixia Xianzi shook the purple-gold divine bell at her fingertips, breaking Mo Lihai's Jade Pipa and reverse-controlling the Four Heavenly Kings and Yang Jian.

The Four Heavenly Kings, Yang Jian, and even Xiaotian Quan began to dance gracefully below.

Suddenly, the image of the man standing in the Desert who drew the Purple-Green Treasure Sword flashed through Zixia Xianzi's mind, and she felt her internal immortal power instantly recede.

She let out a muffled groan and fled rapidly toward the distance.

Yang Jian was the first to wake up. Seeing the fleeing Zixia Xianzi, he pointed two fingers at his forehead, and his third eye shot out a cyan beam of light, striking Zixia Xianzi directly in the back! "Pfft!!"

Zixia Xianzi spat out a mouthful of blood and flew toward the distance without looking back.

At this moment, the four generals of the Mo family also cleared their heads and were preparing to speak, but Yang Jian raised his hand first, "No need to say anything!"

"Whoever lets word of this out, I will kill them!"

Mo Lihong stepped onto Yang Jian's arm and was about to speak, but Yang Jian said with a stern face: "I said, no need to say anything."

Mo Lihong waved his hand and said: "That's not it, your Xiaotian Quan is over there mounting a female dog!"

Yang Jian was furious, "Ah, even he has been moved by mortal desires!"

He swung his palm downward, "Tonight I will kill him to satisfy my cravings!"

The Four Heavenly Kings were delighted, "Great! Great! We have thought so for a long time!"

Yang Jian's gaze swept over: "Hmm?" (End of this chapter)
